Dear list, I have spotted what could be a memory leak somewhere.
The example below shows how to quickly use up RAM on a linux machine (the example is taylored for a 2Gb machine, change the size of the matrix m is needed). # --- m <- matrix(rnorm(130), nrow=6000, 6) X11(type="cairo") pairs(m) # --- here the trouble starts (monitor the memory usage as the plot goes). pairs(m, pch="+") # this does not seem to act on memory usage of the R process dev.off() gc() # the only way to get back some memory is to kill the R process.
